30+ Healthy Whole 30 & Paleo Snacks

In 2015 I completed 90 days of Whole30. No dairy. No grains. No sugar. No fun. Kidding. It was fun. I know it sounds like a slow and painful torture but I loved it. I had a fantastic experience. I did it because I had developed some poor eating habits. Lots of fried food and sweet tea. (I’m very southern apparently.) I also suffered for years from allergies and I suspected that food was the culprit. I wanted to reset my body. I wanted to identify what I was eating that was causing my year-round congestion. I wanted to eliminate my dependence on junk. Whole30 did all that for me. It’s been well over a year since I finished the program and I’m still carrying the lessons I learned with me.

The biggest challenge that I see people struggle with while on Whole30 is snacking. There’s so much that’s forbidden that sometimes trying to figure out what you can have feels overwhelming. What can you eat in between meals? Additionally, because our family is a minimum of 8 hours away, we take a lot of road trips throughout the year. I needed to figure out what I could eat while traveling since my usual Wendy’s stop wouldn’t work anymore.

Today I’m sharing some of my favorite Whole30 snacks with you. Some work well while traveling. Some are big hits at parties. All are delicious. Of course you don’t have to be on Whole30 to enjoy these. They’re perfect for anyone trying to make healthy decisions.

This snack is my top choice and I credit it for enabling me to finish 90 days. Really. It was that important to me and still is today. I bet I eat this once a week even now. My recipe is delicious but if you’re in a pinch Wholly Guacamole is an excellent portable solution.

13. Ants on a Log

Peanuts are not allowed on Whole30 so use almond butter instead. Celery, almond butter, and raisins. So tasty!

It’s not just raisins (but those are yummy too). Check the ingredients. Not all will work for Whole30. It’s really amazing how brands manage to sneak sugar and artificial ingredients into just about everything. This is a great snack because fruit is naturally sweet!

This recipe was an absolute favorite during my first Whole30 and still is. Serve it in a bowl or wrap a scoop in lettuce. I often serve this for baby showers and birthday parties. Everyone loves it and you’ll never need another chicken salad recipe.

Does this sound weird? I hear ya. But you’re wrong. This snack delivers the salt I want and is perfect for road trips (if you prepare them in advance and don’t mind a little pickle smell). The pickle in this delightful treat truly satisfies when I’m craving a big burger. Go ahead and doubt me. Try it for yourself and then let me know what you think. Oh and don’t forget to check the ingredients. Deli turkey is often full of additives, brown sugar, or honey. Pickles are sometimes made with sugar too. Read the label.

Brace yourself. This is incredible. I use turkey bacon instead of prosciutto. Everyone will rave over this whether they’re on Whole30 or not. It feels decadent. My husband and I couldn’t stop eating them the first time I made them.

Read the ingredient list because some Larabars do have sugar or peanuts. There are many that don’t. I’m partial to Apple Pie, Banana Bread, and Cashew Cookie. They have no artificial ingredients or sugar. They are delicious with your morning coffee and you can have it on the go. Even my kids love them!

You can find tons of recipes for cauliflower hummus online but I like this one with garlic and tahini paste.

38. Tomato Slices + Sprinkle of Salt

My final piece of advice to you is to not limit yourself to traditional snack ideas.

Who says you can’t make a potato hash sauteed with spinach, arugula, garlic, and topped with avocado? Not this gal. I can’t tell you how many times I did that very thing when I was feeling a bit ornery and couldn’t wait until dinner.

Who says an egg muffin or fritatta isn’t appropriate for 2 PM? I don’t want to know that person.

Think outside of the box and make snack choices that reinforce your healthy lifestyle.

So there you have it! These are my favorite Whole30 snacks and now they can be yours too! If you have any other ideas I’d love to hear them in the comments!

Snack often and enjoy lots of potatoes (to fill you up)! It still did wonders for me – 9 lbs the first month and 21 in 3 months. Plus it completely eliminated by allergies and I was able to figure out that dairy was a problem for me. Good luck! I hope you love it!

I did the Whole 30 once and while it was definitely heard, it was such a great decision. It really resets your tastebuds so you’re not craving all that sugar anymore. Healthy snacks are FOR SURE an important part of being able to finish the whole month strong! Thanks for including a couple of mine!
